Paper Inspirations




I found this great card whilst blog-hopping this morning.  It's from Danielle over at Paper Inspirations and she has some more great cards for you to see.  I think she is absolutely right about this style of card being very suitable for men which is why I decided to show it here.

This gives you another view....


Have a look over on Danielle's blog for some more examples and a link to the card-fold instructions.

Have a great Sunday, everyone.

Boo!

I bet you thought I'd gotten lost, didn't you. I've had such a hard time keeping up with things these last few months. But hey, hopefully, we'll be better this time.





I've done this card for Challenge 4 - 3D Elements over at Crafty Cardmakers Blog which is a new blog (to me) that is excellent. It's ideal for novice and experienced crafters alike, the prizes are great and there are super tutorials to boot. I really recommend hopping on over for a look.

So, onto my card. the base is from a box of textured cards from DCWV that I stock over in my shop. The decoupage was a digi-download from Pollycrafts and the "Boo!" Brad is from a set of HOTP Brad Buddies which I love.



These Brads are great and I stock lots of them in my shop. Each pack has six large brads (two of each design) and you can see from my card they're a good size. Why not pop over now and take a look here?

Well, that's me done for now. See you soon. Why not take a look at my other blog to keep up to date with the goings on in my shop.

Funky Fairy Inspirations - free downloads

There are some great Christmas downloads at Funky Fairy Inspirations that are absolutely free.  They had quite a few decoupage sheets that I thought would suit our masculine cards, like the one above.  If you download and use the free stuff, then make sure you link back to Funky Fairy Inspirations from your blog and acknowledge their input.  Just a short post tonight as it's rather late.  Night night.

Fathers Day Card for the Die Cuts Dreams Challenge

This is my card for Father's Day for my Dad. I'm also entering it in the Die Cuts Dreams Challenge which has the theme 'Greenfingers'. The pictures haven't turned out quite as I would have wanted but I'll keep practicing. The decoupage image is from Craft UK as is the background paper on the inside. The card is made from a sheet of Bazill Basics (colour Guacamole). The backing papers and ribbon on the front were from a blog candy I won a while back. If you follow the links you'll see the items available in my shop, http://www.donnasdenofcrafts.co.uk/.

100th Visitor Candy

I've reached my 100th visitor point which I'm really pleased about so I decided to celebrate with a little bit of Blog Candy. As we are devoted to 'Cards for Men' the candy is made up of the more masculine ranges.

There's a 6x6 pack of Dovecraft Masculine and Abstract papers, a DCWV 4.5x6.5 Metallic Stack, a pack of 5 Embossed cards 'Sports' with envelopes, 'Masculine' funky brads and a packet of Metallic Brads.
The closing date for entrants is midnight BST on 14th June. I'll post first class so that you can finish off those last minute Father's Day cards. To be in with a chance leave a comment on this post and add a link on your blog. If you want to become a follower that's great but not required. Good luck.
P.S. if you don't win all of these products are sold in my shop, Donna's Den of Crafts. We'd love to see you pop in.
